More Refugee Week activities

Can’t make these dates? How about hosting a Foodie Fest to celebrate food from around the world while helping refugees locally. Cook a few dishes, invite friends round and ask them to donate for dinner! Visit our Foodie Fest page for tips and delicious recipes.

Or, if you’re not a cook – gather a group together and do a bucket collection with us. Let us know what you’re planning. We’ll then send you materials and information to share about what your fundraising will support.
